I was making a little Mac app wrapper for talking to teletype games. Fucking Xcode.

What does this ViewBridge error mean? I found a few forums where nobody knows, it's just some shit Apple does.

Obvs all my code in this is Objective-C & XIB interface, Swift is C++ with worse syntax, and hilariously not swift.

Unable to obtain a task name port right for pid 602: (os/kern) failure (0x5) ViewBridge to RemoteViewService Terminated: Error Domain=com.apple.ViewBridge Code=18 "(null)" UserInfo={com.apple.ViewBridge.error.hint=this process disconnected remote view controller -- benign unless unexpected, com.apple.ViewBridge.error.description=NSViewBridgeErrorCanceled} fopen failed for data file: errno = 2 (No such file or directory) fopen failed for data file: errno = 2 (No such file or directory)

Making progress, at least. I could make it word-wrap, but that's not authentic and often not wanted. As always with fonts, fuck fonts, impossible to get reasonable sizing for anything, so best guess.

macOS 27: Intel users annoyed by end of support

Apple fixes many blunders of its predecessor with macOS 27. But unfortunately, Intel users have to stick with the old version.
